Configure the PC to use the new console type when changing from a local console directly attached to a local console on a network

To change from an Operations Console with local console directly attached to a local console on a network (LAN), you must configure the PC to use the new console type.

1. Disconnect the current console connection. To disconnect, do the following:
   1. Select the configuration name (under iSeries Connection). This is the name that Operations Console uses to refer to a specific iSeries server.
   2. From the Connection menu, click Disconnect. The connection status shows Disconnecting.
   3. Wait for the status to show Disconnected.
2. To configure the new console type, see Set up Operations Console. It is recommended that you perform an initial program load (IPL) to be certain there are no errors.

   Once you are satisfied that the new console is working correctly you can proceed with any plans to move or remove any adapter or configurations.

   If you will not be using the cabled connection as a backup console, you may remove the console cable, the remote control panel cable, or both cables from the PC at this time. It is recommended that you power down the iSeries before removing or adding cables from the iSeries.

   To delete the current configuration if you will not be using the cabled connection as a backup console do the following:

   1. Select the configuration name (under iSeries Connection).
   2. From the Connection menu, click Delete.
   3. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
